| Research Abstract |
For measurement of endangered small cetacean that inhabits in Asian rivers and their habitat environment such as water quality, a prototype robot boat is developed. Positioning system using GPS and compass and obstacle avoidance system for the robot navigation is installed. Tank tests and sea trial using the robot boat were carried out. Small array system for dolphin census is also developed and tested in the river system such as Ganges river and Mahakam river.
